Chapter 49
Chapter 49 : Spy, Traitor, and Kang Chul-InPodolski’s act continued long into the night .
The reason being that he wanted Lee Chae-rin’s guards to relax their guard around him .
<Sire, please forgive my insolence . In order to make these guys relax their guards, I need to resort to these kind of methods . >
After that, Podolski and Chae-rin started laughing crazily, like two idiots .
“KUHAHAHA! Kuuuk, I’m getting drunk!”
After drinking the ground grape (grape that grows in the ground, I didn’t know that this even existed) wine, Podolski’s face turned red, as he started throwing a fit .
“Kuuu, this wine, it’s really good . We don’t seem to have this kind of wine in home, do we?”
The ‘home’ that Podolski referred to was obviously Earth .
“Hoho! This is only found in our territory . It’s realllllllly strong wine . Want another one?”
Chae-rin followed Podolski’s act perfectly . Her will to become a strong Lord like Kang Chul-in allowed her to get through the humiliation she felt .
“Huuuu! Hey, Chae-rin . ”
After drinking even more wine, Podolski started staring at Chae-rin with one eye .
“Don’t you think it’s been quite a time since we’ve shared our love? I think the last time we did was at ‘that’ place . ”magic
For a second, Chae-rin’s body froze from the strong words that Podolski spouted .
“Huhu . ” laughed Podolski, as he started hugging Chae-rin .
<There’s a spy here . >
Of course, it was an act .
<Pretend that we are plenty drunk . Only like this will we be able to make them relax their guards . >
“Huuu, not right now . ”
“Huh? Why not?”
“Need more wine…”
“Hahaha, of course, of course . ”
Podolski nodded his head .
“You always needed wine to make you go hot . Then later today after your plenty drunk?”
“Hohoho! Well, I guess we’ll see when I really get that drunk, won’t we?”Unexpectedly, their acts were almost perfect . This was because Chae-rin tried her absolute hardest in order to match his act .
“But…”
“Who are those bastards over there? I looked earlier, but your underlings seemed plenty disrespectful to you . Like you said, they deserve to be beaten .
As Podolski let out his feelings, Chae-rin seemed like she didn’t want to miss this chance and spoke .
“Yes, they truly are arrogant and disrespectful . ”
And she ground her teeth .
“Arrogant and disrespectful?!”
“Instead of listening to their lord’s orders, they treat her like a scarecrow, and ignore her instead . What a bunch of stoneheads (a way of saying idiot in korean)”
“Stoneheads, huh?”
“Huuu, I don’t think there are any underlings as ridiculous and unfaithful as mine . ”
“W-What? Hmph, I guess they need to get educated then . ”
As he said that, Podolski flexed his muscles .
“Dwarves are idiots . ”
“Hmm?”“Yes, I’m very sure he isn’t very simple too . ”
“Okay then, continue . ”
“He said that he has a friend who’s a Lord, located around 100km away from here . He said that he could gather the help of that Lord and help her retake her authority . ”
“WHAT!” Sledge stood up and shouted in shock .
“H-how dare she think of bringing outside forces…”
“S-sir, please calm down . ”
“AS IF I COULD! That b*tch of a woman isn’t thinking of helping us retake Nidavellir, but rather thinking of getting outside help in order to wreck chaos and chase us out . ”
“Secretary, please calm yourself…”
“CALM MYSELF MY *SS! LOOKING AT HOW THINGS ARE GOING, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE IS ABOUT TO REGAIN HER AUTHORITY HERE!”
“But I don’t think you need to worry so much, sir . ”
“Huh? Why not?”
“It seemed like her friend was a huge boaster . He kept on saying things on how great he was . To me, it seemed like he was just boasting, and seemed like a con-man . Not only that, his drinking habits are so bad that he fell asleep in the garden, drunk . ”
“Ohhh, so that’s how things were, huh . ” Sledge starting laughing sinisterly .
“Kuku, no matter what you do, you won’t be able to escape from my fingertips . It seems like this b*tch has no luck either . But… I can’t just leave her alone . ”
He didn’t completely relax his guard .
“Look carefully at how the adventurers behave . There’s a chance that they will make a deal with them, or try to convince them to join their cause . ”
“Yes, sir!”
“Not only that, if someone comes to try and meet her now, tell them that she’s unable . Don’t let her see anyone, got it?”
At this moment, Sledge stepped over the line that he never should have, which was betraying his own Lord .
“W-water…”
Lee Chae-rin’s dry throat made her wake up from her sleep .
‘Sigh, I drank too much . ’
Although it seemed like she had slept for a long time, her head hurt a lot .
Well, maybe it was to be expected after drinking 7 bottles of wine with Podolski . It was already impressive that she was able to keep up her part of the act .
She stretched her hands towards the bottle of water .
No, she tried to, but she couldn’t .
This was because she was startled by the presence of a man, sitting near her .
The man had a pelt that seemed like a Black Leopard draped over his whole body, giving off a mysterious feeling, as the moon was covered by his silhouette .
“You finally woke up . I was going to, if you didn’t . ”
The cold voice was able to calm her startled heart . It was the voice of Kang Chul-in .
“Haha, Mr . Chul-in!”
“B-but… how did you get up here?”
“Through the window . ”
“The window?!” she was surprised .
Below the window was a cliff that stretched for over 30 meters, it was something that no human should be able to scale .
“It’s not that difficult for me . ”
Kang Chul-in spoke indifferently . For him with overdrive on, it truly was nothing .
“Oh…”
“Take this . ”
Kang Chul-in threw 2 scroll of parchment to her .
“What’s this?” she asked .
“One of them is for the contract, and the other one…” Kang Chul-in spoke .
“Is a ‘death list’ . ”
It was a book that would determined who died, and who lived; a ‘death list’ .
